Recently the board software has been updated and there are some known bugs/failures:
- Avatars are currently not being displayed✔ FIXED
- Tapatalk connection is currently broken✔ FIXED
- Avatars cannot be uploaded✔ FIXED

So, there are plenty of frames with discs now, but most of them are still for mechanical shifting and braking.I assume that frames which have mechanical discs and have full lenght cable housing, are also hydraulic comptible, but which frames are both Di2/EPS and hydraulic disc compatible?

I am currently building my new CX bike. Moots Psyclo X RSL with Super Record EPS and Avid BB7 SL disc brakes.

Unfortunately Moots built the frame without external battery mounts, so now I have an agonising wait for the new internal Campagnolo battery as my bike sits part built in the work stand.

Grrrrrr!

Still, in the long run it is going to look very sleek with hardly any external cables, and a super nice spec. Build pictures as and when the battery arrives. This is going to be like waiting for Christmas whilst watching paint dry and watching a kettle boil.

I'm probably going to use Di2, so I don't care about battery mounts, but running Di2 wires through cable stops is a no go. Also, brake cable must use full lenght housing, othterwise it's not hydraulic compatible.

For cheaper you might want to see if there are aluminum versions of their top end bikes. Not sure about Taiwanese/Chinese frames, but they're bound to be out there, but I'm not too well versed on their reliability.

Di2 is still very much at the early adopter stage, and discs haven't even got that far! As for discs + Di2.........

Shimano have barely started shipping their hydraulic Di2 levers and brakes, and SRAM are the only other people taking discs seriously but they don't offer electronic (until about March next year...... ). I run Campagnolo EPS and am having to use Avid BB7 SLs since there isn't any sign of Campagnolo disc brakes anywhere on the horizon soon.

To find a good value frame from a mainstream manufacturer, you will probably have to wait until the technology trickles down further. In the meantime, whilst the technology is new, and adoption has not yet gathered momentum, it's niche, small manufacturers or high end mainstream manufacturers only.

Why Not trp hyrdBest compromise i thinkBy far better than bb7 crapAlso the spyre is by far better
